The Glenlivet Cask Master’s Collection moves another step forwards with its latest addition, a 12 Year Old GTR Exclusive single malt, which has been premiered at Changi Airport, Singapore.
Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail (PR GTR) and The Glenlivet, the definitive Speyside single malt, have added a new aged expression to The Glenlivet Cask Master’s Collection: an approachable, fruit-forward and beautifully balanced 12 Year Old Travel Retail Exclusive with a tropical rum cask finish, which is being premiered at Singapore Changi Airport with the partners’ latest showstopping Changi 1st pop-up.
Made in celebration of The Glenlivet’s new Master Distiller Kevin Balmforth’s mastery and vision, this extended permanent collection of aged single malts comprising a 12, 14, 16 and 19 Year Old is only available in Global Travel Retail, offering travellers with a passion for smooth, rounded whiskies with an abundance of fruity notes the opportunity to discover something special as they embark on their own journey.
The perfect introduction to exploring The Cask Master’s Collection, the new 12 Year Old expression is selectively finished in Caribbean rum casks, adding layers of bright pineapple, mango and vanilla while keeping true to The Glenlivet’s signature smooth style. The bold, sun-lit yellow of the 1L bottle label and outer packaging is inspired by the warm glow of a Caribbean island sunset.
Travellers passing through Terminal 1 Departure Transit, Singapore Changi Airport, between 16th October – 25th November 2026 will be the first to enjoy liquid on lips at the immersive Changi 1st pop-up, delivered in partnership with LOTTE Duty Free Singapore and situated adjacent to the LOTTE store.
Discover the sunshine notes of the 12 Year Old at the sensory bar, where flavour notes from this and the other cask finishes in the collection can be nosed, enabling brand ambassadors to make recommendations based on passenger preferences. Next comes the tasting, enhanced by local food pairings such as bites of pandan or kopa. Complete the experience by making a memento of your visit to Changi with a fun picture at The Glenlivet Hot Air Balloon Photo Booth.
Those who go on to complete a purchase can step up and try their luck at the fun vending machine where instant prizes range from an exclusive tasting of The Glenlivet 19 Year Old, to a stylish branded puffer bag, premium-sized trolley bag or the grand prize of tickets to a very special destination.
Selectively finished in rum casks, the new 12YO GTRX is incredibly smooth, fruity and uplifting, with a finish that displays lingering citrus brightness and soft tropical warmth.
Commenting on the The Glenlivet Cask Master’s Collection 12 Year Old GTRX, Antonio Duva, CEO, Asia Pacific, at Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail said: “Finding the perfect casks to complement The Glenlivet’s signature smoothness requires immense precision and expertise. Here Master Distiller Kevin Balmforth has hand-selected Caribbean rum casks known for their tropical sweetness and rich notes of vanilla, toffee and honey, with the goal of enhancing rather than overpowering the whisky’s iconic fruit-forward style. The result is a vibrant yet harmonious expression that adds another dimension to this popular GTR Exclusive collection and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to launch it in Asia with our partners at Changi Airport Group and LOTTE Duty Free.”
Hung Jean, Managing Director of Airside Concessions at Changi Airport Group, said: “We are delighted to partner Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail and LOTTE Duty Free to launch The Glenlivet 12 Year Old GTR exclusively and first at Changi Airport. The Changi First program is about bringing travellers memorable experiences, and this uniquely Changi outpost invites all to explore the collection with curated food pairings, enjoy instant prizes, take part in a special photo booth, and more. Here, travellers not only immerse themselves in the brand’s story, but can be among the first in the world to taste The Glenlivet’s latest travel retail exclusive.”
Bruce Ham Seok Min, Managing Director for LOTTE Duty Free Singapore, added: “The Glenlivet is the bestselling malt whisky in GTR by volume and the fastest-growing brand in its category. Experiential pop-ups like this one are huge contributors to this growth and we delight in seeing the creativity and execution brought about each time PR GTR, LOTTE Duty Free and Changi Airport Group collaborate together. Congratulations to all involved.”
The Glenlivet Cask Master’s Collection is available exclusively in Global Travel Retail locations worldwide. The 12 Year Old GTR Exclusive will be on sale in Asia Travel Retail throughout October before rolling out to worldwide markets from 1st November.
